Dedication - Elder Pack


Hello People!!!!!

So this week we had a chance to help people and I hope that it has blessed their lives.  The coolest thing was we helped a sister that has recently lost her husband and has suffered much in her life.  If anyone thinks learning a new language is hard be thankful at the least you have a language to talk.  This sister suffered three strokes which affected her memory and speech.  She lost the form of communication and she couldn’t write well.  She couldn’t live her life that way and had a giant desire to relearn everything that she had forgotten.  She told us it was super hard.  When she started reading the Book of Mormon, the first chapter took her 19 days to finish.  What dedication!!!!  She would wake up every morning at 3 and read for a few hours then sleep again.  She would read as much as she could so as to learn faster.  I don’t remember how long it took her to read the entire Book of Mormon, but I imagine it took her a few years.  I have found her story very encouraging to tell you the truth.

This week we had a little bit of success and my companion and I get along great.

Love you all and hope that you all have a great week.
LOVE ELDER PACK
